Hello... This is the first 10 pictures of the A319 trip from Dallas/Fort Worth to Calgary. This flight was on a former U.S. Airways Airbus A319, which is surprising because U.S. Airways didn't fly this route before.

We were very surprised that our seats didn't have the IFE like our previous flight on an A321. Because our airplane was retrofitted, it just seemed normal that there would be the new IFE seats.

The first impression of the seat was not good. There was a package (above) on the seat back, and there were stains on the tray table.

When we were taxiing, there was a good amount of mist coming from the vents. We were worried as to where it came from, because it came from all of the vents the whole length of the airplane for over 20 minutes.

The food provided included a bag of pretzels and a soft drink.

The bathroom on this flight was very very dirty, although not as dirty as the flight on the Delta CRJ-700.

Bottom Line

It was a great flight, although it didn't meet my expectations of a brand new A319.
